Re: Half painted Fw 190 wing undersides - the purpose?

If I may drop back to an earlier point that wasn't addressed.

It is important to add filler to gaps along the fuselage. Every gap and step will add drag, regardless of whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. The thicker the boundary layer, the smaller the penalty, but penalty remains.
